Reflexology
Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary health therapy involves massage and pressure techniques on the reflex areas found in the feet, hands or face. It can be very effective in promoting deep relaxation and wellbeing by reducing stress, which is a key in optimising good health.
It is a touch therapy based on the principle that reflexes in the feet, hands or face correspond to each organ and structure in the body.
When illness occurs in the body, the corresponding energy channels become blocked, and Reflexology is applied to help the body to remove these blockages, allowing the energy to flow freely again, so restoring the body’s natural balance and good health.
Reflexology can be used to help treat many conditions including:
- Digestive disorders e.g. IBS
- Migraine / headaches
- Joint / back pain
- Sleep disorders
- PMS
- Menopause
- Infertility
- Stress related conditions
- Sinus problems
- Pregnancy – after the first trimester and a valuable tool during labour and the birth process.
Reflexology dates back to Ancient Egypt, and was practised in India and China. The therapy was introduced to the West in 1913 by ear, nose and throat surgeon Dr William Fitzgerald, who developed a system called ‘Zone therapy’. He believed that reflex areas on the feet and hands were linked to other areas and organs of the body within the same zone and used acupuncture needles on the feet to achieve anaesthesia on other areas of the body for surgery.
In the 1930’s, Eunice Ingham further developed this zone theory into what is known as reflexology.
It has been practiced in the UK since the 1960’s and has become more and more popular and established as a complementary therapy.

Pregnancy reflexology
Reflexology can be helpful when trying to conceive a baby. As well as other lifestyle changes, reflexology is thought to help the body to get ready for a pregnancy. It is also helpful during pregnancy and especially in the later stages of (37 weeks onwards) helping the body get ready for the birth.
Clients are advised to contact their reflexologist ahead if planning an appointment in their first trimester to plan their treatment care.
Facial Reflexology
Facial reflexology is a wonderful treatment as either an alternative to or combination with foot reflexology. Like foot reflexology it is very relaxing and has all the same benefits. Additionally it helps have a direct rejuvenating affect on the skin and leaves the face glowing and radiant, relieves muscle tension and improves circulation to the face and head area.

Annie NeillRogel referred me to a consultant before treating me as he wanted to rule out a frozen shoulder before he started physiotherapy. His suspicion of my having a frozen shoulder was correct. This allowed me to get the correct diagnosis and corresponding treatment done quickly and efficiently.
Sophie DoleckiI can't recommend this place and Physio Shreya enough! 10 weeks go I got referred to Wandsworth Physiotherapy by a friend after I was suffering with chronic neck and back pain. Shreya immediately found the cause, diagnosed me, and assured me of what the next steps would be. Not only does Shreya have healing hands, she continuously helped me mentally. After all of the advice, exercises, and dry needling, I am now pain free and able to return to my everyday activities (including exercise). Thank you Shreya, you are incredible!
Andreea CraciunThis place is great! I got here with a really bad pain in my shoulder and neck and I got better really fast. I got treated by Shreya, who is AMAZING. Really good therapist, doing a mix of techniques to relieve pain, and also really empathetic. She id also specialised in sports, which means she was able to advise on how I can continue my regular workouts, despite my pain. I am always looking forward to my sessions here and I can see great progress with my injury. 10/10 would recommend!
Emma MorganChristina has been treating some issues with my neck, back and shoulders for 18 months now and she is the best physiotherapist I’ve ever had. She is a miracle worker with massage but also educates me about posture, injury prevention and the best forms of exercise and injury care. She is A-MAZING.
Anne-Sophie HouédéI've had about 8 sessions at Wandsworth Physiotherapy. Rogel did an amazing job and has been able to help me with the tendinopathy I've had for about 2 years! He created a plan especially for my own goal. I've had shockwave therapy, some exercises to do and advices on the sport I could do and when. Great place!
Kelly HamerRogel, your customer service is amazing! You took time to listen and understand issues. The treatment and exercises you provided were beneficial and helped me to continue exercising and compete at Hyrox. Thank you!
Daniel MaraffiWas booked in with Rogel for a shoulder injury that has been a long term problem impacting my ability to do sport. Over 5 sessions I have seen significant improvement and have been given the tools to continue to get stronger. Hoping to book in with him again for a knee injury as well. Great guy and super knowledgeable!
Chris StoreyReally friendly, knowledgeable staff - would definitely recommend!
Leanne YatesFantastic experience and can't recommend more! Rogel has been excellent and provided expert care.
Becks PagePrarthi has been absolutely fantastic at helping me to recover from a shoulder injury over the last few months. My pain had dramatically reduced after the first session and she has continued to help throughout. She is extremely knowledgeable and has really helped me to understand the mechanics of my injury. I cannot recommend her enough! Thanks so much :)
